Alrightie..... well there could be your problem! So many different food types for such a tiny pup!! We went through about six months of gastrointestinal problems with Ranger last year, with symptoms starting as you have noted, and ended up with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, which is very serious.

What actually ended up being the culprit was a food intolerance to turkey. Once that was eliminated from his diet, he has not had one problem. We actually fed him some chicken with turkey last fall (NV raw chicken) without thinking about it, and he threw up the next morning. Always yellow foamy bile.

Anyway, I (and just cuz I would do it doesn't make it right for you) would elimate everything from his diet aside from one main protein. Say chicken-based kibble, chicken-based treats, etc. It is controversial to have so much going on in the diet, becuase if something like this or allergies occur, it makes it very difficult to find the offending ingredient. But, if it works for you great. However, if you finish the flagyl and this is a persistant problem, you may want to consider an elimination diet. Also, the treats may just be too rich for him and contributing as well.

Good luck, we have had far too much experience with gastro problems and they are NO FUN!!!!
